1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp cornflour/cornstarch

70 g cornflour/cornstarch

½ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp garlic powder

Vejledning

Mix the egg white and soy sauce in a small bowl, add the chicken pieces and leave to marinade while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Mix the sauce ingredients (cider vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and cornflour/cornstarch) in a jug or bowl.

Mix the cornflour/cornstarch, white pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt in a larger bowl.

Toss 2-3 chicken pieces at a time in the seasoned cornflour/cornstarch until evenly coated, ensuring you shake off any excess egg white first. Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated in a generous layer of cornflour/cornstarch.

Place a wok or large frying pan on a medium to high heat and add oil. Add the chicken pieces when the oil is hot and fry for a few minutes, turning regularly until they are golden brown on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside. (Note 1 & 2)

Add a little more oil to the pan if you need to and fry the onion for a couple of minutes before adding the peppers and cook for a few more minutes until the peppers and onion begin to soften.

Add the pineapple and toss quickly in the pan until it becomes hot.

Pour on the sauce and let it boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, add the cooked chicken, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
